Littleover Focus July 2023
Stop Press: A council consultation about more enforcement of 'moving traffic offences' has started. One of the first examples of this was the 'No Entry' at the bottom of South Avenue. We have successfully asked for the 'No right turn' into Chain Lane from Uttoxeter Road to be included in the new list of places for enforcement. See https://letstalk.derby.gov.uk/moving-traffic-enforcement-consultation-phase-2 This includes an online meeting at 11.30am on 31st August, to which there is a link at the bottom of the webpage given above.
Heatherton and Littleover July Focus newsletter has news and information from around the ward, including:
